I'm running Big Sur 11.7.5 on my 2020 Macbook Air. I would like to use an album from my Photos library as a screensaver. How do I accomplish this?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.7
To use an album from your Photos Library as a screensaver, you have to select in the System Preferences as the source of the Screensaver. After selecting a slideshow screensaver select a source.
This is described here: Change Screen Saver preferences on Mac – Apple Support (UK)
One caution: The most recent versions of macOS are not showing the edited versions in the screensaver, just the originals. I don't remember, if this already appies to Big Sur. If your photos are having adjustments applied or cropping and rotation,but the screensaver is only showing the originals, export the album to a folder in the Finder and use the exported album as the source of the screensaver.

I'm running Big Sur. I'd like to designate an album to be my screensaver. How do I do that?
